feeding deer in winter
I hunt on a 150 acre tract of land with thick spruce forest and a 4 yr old clear cut in the middle. Deer density is very low. I'm thinking of putting out feed (corn or oats) this winter to possibly bring more deer into the area and help out the ones that are already there. I don't wish to hunt over the feed, just increase the overall population. The landscape is very rugged and not really conducive to planting a food plot. Is this a good idea or should I just let nature do its thing?
